Our submission to the Rube Goldberg Bar of Soap Challenge. See how it works: • How our Rube Goldberg ... #boredombustingrubemachine #rubetotherescue2020 #rgbarofsoapchallenge
This is seriously impressive! I was NOT expecting to see something this good. Easily my favorite submission in the entire challenge. What really stood out to me was the pacing. Most amateur machines are way too fast and contain a lot of quick transfers of energy, like lots of domino lines, or long string pulls, or giant levers. These types of elements make a machine hard to follow and hard to enjoy. You all did well to stay away from those mistakes, which is extremely rare for anyone's first attempt at building a chain reaction machine. What I especially thought was impressive about the pacing of the machine is that you absolutely NAILED the anticipation factor, whether intentionally or not! This just means that while watching this machine, you're always able to anticipate 1-2 steps ahead. Because nothing moves too fast, and because your camera work is fantastic, the viewer is never caught off guard by what's happening; they're easily able to follow along and understand and anticipate each step in the sequence. The sequence in the kitchen/living room is an especially great example of your flawless pacing. There are so many more lovely things I could say about this machine, basically everything about it is impressive to me. Have you built a chain reaction/Rube Goldberg machine before this? Or do you have an engineering background, maybe? Either way, if you enjoyed building this, I would love to see you build more! You've certainly got the talent for it. PS: I voted for this machine to win the grand prize (I hope I'm allowed to say that!), so I wish you the best of luck!
I am a member of a group chat comprised of professional chain artists. One of the guys in the chat shared this link with a caption saying that this was the best soap dispensing machine that he’s seen. I absolutely agree. This machine shines because of its creativity and clever ideas. It even accomplishes aspects of chain reactions that us professional chain reaction builders don’t. Great work!
Congratulations on your winning design! Very impressive. However, I've had that song stuck in my head all morning, and would love to know what it is... What is this amazingly catchy song?
